Pizza Muffins: Pizza Snacks Kids Would Probably Dig

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 13, 2009 at 6:24 PM

I kinda love pizzamaking.com. The folks there get extra nerdy about dough and crusts and ovens and baking but then turn around and post something fun like this technique for pizza muffins:

I've been thinking about these for awhile and finally gave it a try. Easy to do. Make your pizza, roll it up, slice and place in a muffin pan.
I used a dough that's about 55% hydration. Overnight retard. It's easy to roll and shape. After rolling into a rectangle I sauced it and added pepperoni and mozzarella. You have to kind of figure the size of the roll or it may exceed the diameter of you muffin pan. Mine is 2.75" across and about 1.25" deep so I sliced the roll every 1.25". The slices are a little hard to handle. Lay the slices in the pans and bake at 425 for about 25 minutes. The slices were in the pan about 30 minutes before baking. Have to play with this to see how it effects things. Slight sticking problem. I used PAM. I may invest in a non stick muffin pan.

These would be handy for my 15 year old to have after a chilly cross country meet.

Thanks, Adam, for passing along this cool idea. It does indeed look like it would be a fun project.

I take it from your title that you don't think it would be a pizza an adult would like--too much bread, perhaps?

@betteirene: I think adults could enjoy it, too. Just that my mom used to make something similar when I was a kid and I remember how much I liked it. That's where my mind was when I wrote the title

Oh, Adam, is your mom old enough to have been in the same jr. high 1962 home ec class that I was in? (I lived in Upper Michigan then.) We learned how to make pizza spirals, kind of like the muffins above but meatless, flat and baked on cookie sheets. I wish I still had the recipe.
